Overview
- OpenAI updated Codex to control Mac apps with its own cursor that reads the screen, clicks buttons, and types text to handle tasks like app testing and front-end tweaks.
- The assistant now runs multiple agents in parallel without disrupting the user, saves preferences and repeated workflows, and can pause, resume, or schedule tasks that span days or weeks.
- OpenAI expanded the plugin library with more than 90 new options, including integrations and servers that supply context, so Codex can pull information and take actions across more tools.
- Codex now uses the gpt-image-1.5 model to create product concept images and interface prototypes from simple prompts.
- An in-app browser lets users add notes on a page to guide agents, and OpenAI says full autonomous web flows are planned with site navigation, step execution, screenshots, and output checks.
